Not all heroes wear capes

"Not all heroes wear capes"

About: Antrim Area Hospital / Emergency Surgical Unit (EMSU) Antrim Area Hospital / Ward A2 Paediatrics

(as a parent/guardian),

Our daughter had an admission into Antrim area hospital recently to undergo emergency surgery.

From the minute she was admitted until her discharge  all the staff were fantastic with her. She has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and lots of sensory issues etc but the care and compassion shown to her and ourselves was absolutely over and above the job title in most cases - a hundred million thank yous would never be enough!!

In particular the surgical teams that successfully completed what turned out to be a complex procedure, the nursing staff in the recovery ward, and all the wonderful nurses and staff in the paediatric ward that interacted with, and cared for, our daughter who was in Bay 1 during her stay. They were all absolutely amazing and provide such a valuable service to our community. Not all heroes wear capes, some wear nursing uniforms and scrubs ❤️❤️❤️

Dear Shazzle25, my name is Peter Johnston and I am the lead nurse for Paediatric inpatients in the Trust.

I really am very pleased that you and your daughter had such a positive experience of the care in Antrim as this is what we try to provide for all out patients. I am particularly pleased to see that staff were able to care for your daughter in a way that met her individual needs.

I will pass on your compliments to the surgical and recovery team here in Antrim and directly to the ward staff in A2. I know that each will appreciate that you took the time to write in, it really does make a difference to us all.

thanks

Peter Johnston
